Description: | A cast lead token or weight. The token is flat and almost circular, although crudely shaped. A series of eleven holes have been stamped through the objects resulting in the creation of three lines of holes. The waste lead from the holes has been crudely pushed out to the sides of the holes, forming sharp projecting circles around the holes. The holes are now largely filled in with lead corrosion product and soil. The lead has gone a dark whitish-grey colour. The token is 19.5mm in diameter and 3.3mm thick. Weight: 3.9g. These object appears to be post-medieval in date and may have been use to weigh down the bottom of a dress or curtains. | Format: | text/html | License: | http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0/ | Publisher: | The Portable Antiquities Scheme | Rights holder: | The Portable Antiquities Scheme | Subjects: | archaeology | Temporal: | 1700
